Proposal for a regulation
Recital 25
(25) The consumption of fruit and vegetables and milk products amongst children should be encouraged, including by durably increasing the share of those products in the diets of children at the stage when their eating habits are being formed. Not only should Union aid to finance or co-finance the supply to children in educational, pre-school and extracurricular establishments of such products should therefore be promoted: so, specifically in the case of vegetables, should Union aid to help improve the image and perception of fresh vegetables both among children and in their families in order to encourage their consumption.
